Huh? I *DID* respond to that sentence...here, again, is my original reply taken from my earlier post on this thread.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hubbard is not a messiah, despite his idiotic claims but there seems to be an implication here that anyone who listens to him is not a decent person. When I was on Org Staff I was driven by an urge, rightly or wrongly, to 'save the planet'. It might not have been the best way to go about it, true BUT, you'll find that most Scientology Staff, especially at the lower Org's, originally joined to . . . wait for it. . . HELP OTHERS. I joined Staff, and then the Sea Org out of a burning desire to help other people. I think you'll find most staff joined for similar reasons, they certainly didn't do it for the pay. Your average Staff member might live in fear of the next Ethics mission and hope to Gawd that the stats are up before Thursday but they, like me, just got caught up in all. Don't tell me that the normal Org staff didn't have their best intentions for humanity at heart when they signed their contracts. I've been there. I've done that. Perhaps we were decieved, perhaps not but I *OBJECT* to your statement. It's unfair, untrue and it insult's those who are still there, slaving away for almost no money who still believe that they are helping Humanity. Drivel snipped. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It showed up as part of my original post on freeserve but, well, I'm hardly a computer expert so gawd knows if it made it elsewhere. . .
